Chapter 253: Inheritance of the Grave Keeper
"Little brother, have you ever seen that kind of grass?" Seeing Zhou Fan's reaction so big, the patriarch couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Fan couldn't help but feel excited in his heart when he heard Meng Youcao, but after a while, he calmed down, waved his hand at the patriarch and said, "No, I haven't seen it, you continue." ”
When the old patriarch saw Zhou Fan's expression, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, and secretly glanced at Zhou Fan and a few people before saying, "This kind of grass is a companion of the Yin and Yang Fruit, but I have never seen what this kind of grass looks like."
I don't even know where it grows, but there is a big mountain that grows behind us, and there are three colors of Yushen grass, one yellow, one black, and one red, and this grass is also called the three-color god flower by them.
However, this grass only has a one-month growth cycle every year, that is, after mid-July, and after this season, the Yushen grass will wither, so we will collectively collect the Yushen grass every year.
This kind of grass, one yellow, one red two kinds of branches and leaves can be eaten, eat yellow leaves, can give birth to boys, eat red can give birth to girls, but the last black leaves can not be taken, once eaten by mistake, it will bleed to death.
After taking the three-color god flower, you still need to drink the spring water in my village to be effective, otherwise it will be ineffective just taking the god cultivation grass. The old patriarch paused at this point, sighed and continued: "Also, our village is shrouded in fog all year round, except for one road out of the village.
There is only the mountain range in the back mountain to go out, and there is no other road to pass after that, but because of the heavy fog all the year round, even our own people can't find the road, let alone outsiders want to come in.
Only during the fog season, that is, in July of every thirty-eighth year, can you go out or come in from the village, after which you will want to go out of the village again no matter what method you use, and we have settled here for generations since our ancestors....
"Another thirty-eight years later, what kind of secrets exist in this double July, and why so many things have something to do with the double July." Hearing this, Zhou Fan couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.
Because too many things are related to Double July, such as the blood moon of Double July, and the underworld ghost world where Xiao Yue is located, the thirty-eight years of altar transformation, and the Weilou Mountain Double July Great Array reversal of the ghost world descending, these are all related to Double July, and now this thousand-year-old mystery, Zhanli Village is related to Double July, and he has to think about this Double July.
Yu Xuan saw that the old man had a lot of words, but those were not what he wanted to hear, so he couldn't bear the doubts in his heart, interrupted the old patriarch's words and asked, "Great patriarch, what did Brother Zhou Fan just say about the Zhanli Village outside?" Does it have anything to do with our village? ”
"Don't worry, I was about to talk about it." The old patriarch waved his hand, signaling Yu Xuan to calm down first, and then continued: "My ancestors have lived here for generations, but there was an incident in my grandfather's generation, and our village had a rupture.
This thing shouldn't have been told to you outsiders, and even you and I can't tell it, only the patriarch heir is qualified to know, but now is a very moment, and the little brother Zhou Fan has become the heavenly master of my clan.
Yu Qiong is dead, and you will inherit the position of patriarch after a while, and I am not an outsider to tell you. Saying that, the old patriarch took out a bronze token from his arms, which was somewhat similar to the one in Zhou Fan's hand, but obviously the one in the old patriarch's hand was more delicate, and it looked more old.
"You take this, this is a token passed down from generation to generation of my clan, since you are going to inherit the patriarch, I should also let you know something." The old patriarch handed the bronze token to Yu Xuan and said, "This token, as the inheritance of the He clan, is also the identity of the patriarch, and it is related to the mission of our clan. ”
"What a mission." Yu Xuan was a little puzzled as he played with this token.
"Look at the words engraved on this token." The old patriarch motioned to Yu Xuan to turn the token around, and when Yu Xuan heard the movement in his hand, he immediately turned the token around, only to see an old font engraved on the token.
He is not highly educated, and he can read and write because decades ago, it happened to be a double July, and those years happened to be the day of the Japanese invasion of China, and many people fled from their village.
There are intellectuals and intellectuals, but because after entering the village, the fog once again covered the village, and they could not find a way out.
But there is no doubt that the exceptions all died in the back mountain, and the rest of the people saw that they had no chance to go out, so they settled in this village with peace of mind, and joined their village, and then they taught and educated people in the village.
Now the cultural level of the village can barely catch up, but if they can read the ancient characters, it is impossible, but Zhou Fan's eyes are very sharp, and he has a deep eye for the ancient texts, and at a glance he can see that the reverse side of the bronze token is engraved with the word Netherworld.
Seeing this, Zhou Fan was silent, because he wanted to know what secrets the great patriarch still had, and sure enough, after Yu Xuan stared at the token for a while and had no clue, the old patriarch spoke first: "This token has been passed down for thousands of years, and the two words engraved on the back are the netherworld, and the front is a word guard, in fact, our generations of clansmen are tomb keepers." ”
"Sure enough." Zhou Fan and the others couldn't help but be secretly surprised when they heard the old patriarch tell the truth, and Zhou Fan looked at the old patriarch with sharp eyes, because he knew that this so-called tomb keeper was guarding the Netherworld Mansion.
Others don't know what kind of tomb the Netherworld Xuanfu is, but he knows it clearly, if you want to say who knows the Netherworld Xuanfu best, only Gu Tianhan, who is uncertain about life and death, knows the Netherworld Xuanfu better than him.
In addition to Gu Tianhan, he is undoubtedly the person who knows this terrifying immortal tomb best, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this is an immortal tomb, because this tomb has exceeded Zhou Fan's imagination, and he thinks that only the legendary immortals can have such a tomb.
"Then the Great Patriarch, do you know the origin of our village?"
"I don't know where our village came from, no one has known about it since my grandfather's generation." Seeing Yu Xuan's question, the old patriarch shook his head and said that he didn't understand either: "Since that incident happened in my grandfather's generation, the only thing that has been passed down to my generation is this token and my father, and he has explained a few words to me."
When I heard my father say that those who split off were my father's clan uncles, and why they split up, my father didn't tell me, he only said it once when he was young, and he never mentioned it again.
As for what Zhou Fan's little brother said, the Zhanli Village outside should have nothing to do with our village, even if it has a relationship, it is a village established by the clan uncle's generation after splitting out, and our village will never do that kind of hurtful thing. ”
"I see, old patriarch, do you know whose tomb you want to protect is?" After listening to the old patriarch's words, Zhou Fan was a little confused, he couldn't figure out what was going on now.
Why is it that their village has been a grave keeper for generations, but they don't know anything, is it a fault in the inheritance, or has they only known that they are tomb keepers, or even not, they don't even know about the existence of the Netherworld? These made Zhou Fan wonder.
The old patriarch turned his hand to look at Zhou Fan, and after a pause, he said, "The ancestors have passed down that the tomb is hidden in this mountain range, and we are the guardians of this tomb, and we have guarded this tomb for generations.
As for the origin of this tomb, we have no way of knowing, only that there is an entrance to this tomb in the back mountain, so my clan has been rooted here for generations, and I don't know anything about the rest, only that it is my clan's mission to protect the mausoleum. ”
"Is that really the case, is it... If only Grandpa Gu were here. As soon as Zhou Fan heard that even the old patriarch didn't know the reason, he knew that they only knew that they were the tomb keepers, and the rest must be useless to ask.
In fact, Zhou Fan had a guess in his heart early in the morning, but now he is not sure based on conjecture alone, he still needs to understand it thoroughly, and only after the Netherworld Xuanfu can he know the reason, but now he hopes that Gu Tianhan is by his side, if Gu Tianhan is here, all this should be explained.
